Depends on context; you'll get a ticket if you atempt to drive on the pavement in England but not in the U.S.. Definitely "wrong" in the point of view of the officer. 8) As long as the arguments are made in the spirit of fun, which most of it seems to be, I don't see a problem. For the most part, I find the differences in pronounciation, spelling, and usage amusing.
Even in the same country, name it US, Canada, England, (Spanish ones) Argentina, Mexico, Bolivia, they do not pronounce the same and they do not even name some things the same!!, so as far as we can understand each others, i think we can leave the "correct/incorrect" thing to the language professionals, we are at computers :) . regards,
